My uncle was with The Royal Care Home for a few days only. I thought the staff were very helpful and kind. He was treated as an individual. I was able to say my goodbyes in privacy in a pleasant room which allowed us both some dignity. He died during the early house of that night but I am so grateful
for that special goodbye. Hospitals do not offer the same chances.

Would like to say what a fantastic care home this was for my mother for 2 years, who sadly passed away in December. Nothing was too much trouble. All staff, management, nurses, carers, domestics, and one particular staff member who regularly made us all laugh on many occasions, would like to say a massive
thank you.

My father in law is a permanent resident at the care home. He was moved from hospital into the care home, he has Alzeimer's condition. The staff and management have been excellent with dad. He can be really bad at times and a handful but staff have the patience of a saint, really appreciate the hard
work they do. Keep up the good work and thanks for everything you do from the family.

My mum came in following a stroke in July. The care my mum receives at the care home has been second to none. The whole team go above and beyond for her. Nothing is too much trouble for them. She has been settled since moving in in October.

All the staff give excellent care to my dad. I have peace of mind knowing that he is well looked after. There is always plenty going on, you can be involved as much or as little as liked, pampering sessions, hair dressers, group activities or one to one etc. All the staff are friendly and approachable.
The home is well run with a great manager, the home is very clean and the food menu has a good variety. Thank you to all the staff for looking after my dad so well.

My partner is very well looked after in The Royal Care Home. The staff are very dedicated and nice people. Anything I need to know, I just ask 2 members of staff who are the care home management. The Royal is very clean and tidy, not smelly like most I've visited.

Mum is like a changed person since going to The Royal Care Home. All the staff are lovely with her, she's eating food she's never eaten before and loving it. The Royal seem committed to ensuring days are filled with fun and distractions to keep people's minds busy. I couldn't have wished for more than
they offer.

I live in Australia and my dad was in The Royal Care Home for nearly 12 months. Before passing a few days before Christmas.
I called frequently and emailed as well, and the staff were so lovely and accommodating and helpful. I had a few regular nurses and admin staff I spoke to and they were wonderful.
I couldn't fault the staff, after all, they are what make a care home wonderful. They are angels looking after our relatives and can't thank them enough. They all deserve a pay rise.
The menu was great, always such lovely food and a great range. I saw this while visiting dad from Australia.
While there, I felt the staff were always so busy and felt for them as it's a big responsibility, they all deserve pay rises.
Thanks all, you are all angels.

Staff are great, cleanliness is great, food could be improved with a better budget for the cook, I think the agency staff aren't very good and let the standards regarding nursing slip. Overall the care home is great and staff are great the company should get extra staff and a better budget for them
as they deserve it. Staff go above requirements of the job, even doing the garden each year. Would and do recommend.

The Royal has been outstanding in their care for my sister. It is very well run and managed. The carers are without exception trained to a high standard and I've seen nothing but kindness towards my sister who needs total care. They take time to try and understand her needs even though she struggles
with her speech. There is a good selection of food at meal times and alternatives offered. They have a space chair and hoist so are able to offer showers and bath. The rooms and other areas are kept spotlessly clean. Overall I think the management and staff deserve the highest praise for their commitment to the comfort of their patients.

I have power of attorney and I'm next of kin for a lady I've looked after for 15 years, she is 87 and had to go into a nursing home as she's a bit poorly and had carers at home for quite a long time but had safeguarding issues. The care was shocking so we changed to a different company, a lot better
but not to the standard it should be so I was advised to look for somewhere my friend could go for 24-hour care. I chose The Royal at Rossington, so glad I did, my friend is so comfortable and well cared for, nothing is too much trouble, she has a lovely pleasant room, she said the food is very good and told me I'm not coming home with you, I'm staying in this hotel. My friend after all these years has finally got what she rightfully deserves, expert care and compassion and the most important thing love so thank you everyone, my friend is happy and so am I.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for The Royal Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.874 for The Royal Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.874

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Royal Care Home is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
